*Works with all IDEs in which you can paste text using CTRL+V keyboard combination.

How does it work?

CodeDemo works by monitoring all keystrokes, while it is running, by hooking into Windows® message pump using Windows® API. When you type the Id of the snippet you want to paste followed by the TAB key, CodeDemo replaces the id you just typed by the corresponding snippet.

Using CodeDemo is easy:

Collect your snippets in a text file. Make sure the snippets are separated from each other by 3 or more blank lines.

Open this text file in CodeDemo.

In your IDE, type the id of the snippet followed by TAB key.
